Linuxserver Healthchecks
Healthchecks is a watchdog for your cron jobs. It’s a web server that listens for pings from your cron jobs, plus a web interface.
I wonder how much resources does this take. If not so much I need to run this.

EvosHosting Discussion on LowEndTalk
Purchased two storage VPS from EvosHosting at a discounted rate, but the experience has been frustrating, with delays in provisioning, price increases, downtime, and lack of support. While they offer cheap deals, reliability and customer service leave much to be desired.
Unfortunately, experienced downtime with my VPS with EvosHosting today as well. It has been several months. No response from the customer support.

ActualPy
Python API implementation for Actual server.
Actual Budget is a superfast and privacy-focused app for managing your finances.
Now that I’m learning python, and actually utilizing to deploy posts here, I think I should start learning this as well to get my data from Actual server and try to analyze them.
Make sure to read ActualPy documentation.
Monetr budgeting application
Monetr is a budgeting application that aims to make it easier for people to budget around recurring expenses. While making it absolutely clear how much you have left over to budget or use for other unplanned spending. It is based off of the now defunct Simple. It is also completely free to self-host.
I’m not sure if this is a direct competitor to Actual Budget, but looking at the sample compose file, you need to run 3 Docker images for this app, vs. Actual’s 1 only. So, I choose Actual.
Using Beszel to monitor Windows
Beszel is a new, lightweight monitoring app that natively supports Mac and Linux. I’ll cover how to set it up natively in Windows or WSL2 in today’s post.
This is one app I really wanted to get up and running to monitor my systems. Unfortunately, my first attempt didn’t go as planned.

Sink URL Shortener
A simple, speedy, and secure link shortener with analytics, 100% run on Cloudflare.
About 2 years ago, I’ve been looking for a good self-hosted URL shortener/Bitly alternative. YOURLS was the only one around. Nowadays, we’ll never run out of alternatives.
This one looks sleek though, and can be run on Cloudflare.
